Who is speaking to the Churches in Revelation 2 and 3? Every oracle starts with a description of Jesus... but, every oracle ends with "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."While the Scriptures never explicitly say, Jesus is fully God and fully man... The Scriptures do implicitly let us know Jesus and the Spirit are part of the One Tri-Unity of God. One God in three Persons.

Jesus cares for his mom... It's a scene that is both terrifying and tender... both brutal and beautiful.

The Roman CenturionLuke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. 47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a righteous man." This crusty old soldier never heard Jesus teach, never saw any of his miracles…. But he did see how Jesus died. It wasn’t a sermon that captured this guy’s heart… it was observing the courage and faith Jesus suffered with. And all at once this Roman Soldier who knew not a lick of Scripture…. Praised God! For some, who are touched, the cross inspires deep devotion and what looks like frivolous and wasteful giving. For some, who are touched, the cross is an intense reminder that even as you stood against Him, you received His healing touch. For some, who are touched, the cross is a

Malchus, the servant of the High PriestJohn 18:1 - When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" 5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 8 "I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go." 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled

Luke 22:39-4639 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”Jesus is in control his whole ministry, but suddenly He’s falling apart! Many have faced their deaths with much more dignity and honor than this! No culture back then would read this scene and consider Jesus honorable, worthy to be followed and given your loyalty!Was something more going o
